Use Of Lipstick Can Be Dangerous?

New York: According to the recent study by University of California Berkeley Lipstick can increase

the look of women but it is not good for the rest of the body. Investigators say that they have

analyzed that it contains cadmium, chromium, aluminum and other five metals.

Study author Katherine Hammond says that it is more important the quantity of these metals

than its presence. According to her the quantity of these deadly metals is too high in the lipsticks

that can cause Cancer, especially for those women who are used to wear lipstick all the time. And

there may be a risk of stomach cancer for the normal users. Lipsticks and glosses may hold

possibly troubling levels of metals, according to a preliminary new study. Lead is definitely

dangerous, but ingesting or absorbing products containing lead and other metals on a regular

basis can’t be good for anyone.

Study author Katharine Hammond, a professor of environmental health sciences with the

University of California Berkeley’s School of Public Health told “We observed at nine heavy metals

and found that all of them were present in most of the lipsticks, but not essentially at really high

levels”. Glosses and lipsticks are of specific concern because of the potential for digestion,

Hammond said.

      

According to the author of this study, women should not be scared due to this research but

women who used lipstick several time should think about it. Even she has called the attention to

the U.S. government on this problem
